I was so saddened to hear of her passing. I spent many good times at their home with Nancy. She was a great lady and she gave me many many wonderful memories. May God be with you.

Catherine was a good neighbor to us for many years. Betty's sisters and Catherine's siblings were classmates, and their own children grew up together too. Our families shared many connections. We will miss Ruth Catherine's friendship. Our sympathies to all of you.
Betty and the Taylor family
From the day I fell in love with Danetta I was also in love with Catherine. She was a good friend, a good person, and a wonderful Mother-in-law. I could not come to Ohio but Catherine will be in my heart always. To her brothers, her sister and to the Kniceley's I wish you peace and comfort, if only that you walked this earth with Mom. Her children know how I feel. G_D Speed
